WATCH IT! WATCH IT!

Where have jdrama's been all my life? Well, I know, so once upon a time I was a shallow girl who looked only for romantic comedies and romance movies, would watch them, sometimes be disappointed in it, specially some Japanese movies I watched where the acting seemed a little bland, the story lines clichéd and the romace not so believable, and had almost given up on Japanese entertainment. I was Ofcourse wrong to have judged the entire industry based on a few films 'I' didn't like. However, in came Kimura Takuya on a white horse and since, life hasn't been the same. (But that's another story)
Even then, the j dramas I watched were mostly romantic comedies and such.

While looking up Jdramas I just came across 'tumbling' and thought well,why not? I like sports, I love bromance and brotherhood, so why not? BEST DESICION. I absolutely adore this drama. It's just one of those things which leaves you feeling gooooood and inspired as heck. We can all do it!! We're all capable of achieving our goals and we'll almost always find friendship if we look, carefully.

What I loved about this drama is how not everything is magically solved at the end of the day as it happens in movies/dramas usually. The boys encounter one problem after another, but they get through together and that's really what matters. It also deals with a lot of different topics in a teenagers life. We're all misfits, doesn't mean we all have to be misfits alone.

The acting was great, the performances and everything ,amazing. It doesn't have 'romance' as such, and it doesn't even matter. I think it has changed my views on 'non-romance' dramas and encouraged me to go beyond just specific genres and explore. Also made me like the sports genre alot.

I would highly recommend this drama to people of all ages!

Have you ever finished a series and you just felt like you won't find anything similar; that a particular drama has a special place in your heart? Well that is how I felt like, after finishing Tumbling.

I will start with my major complain saying that this series deserves much more viewers than it actually has. This is my plea to all of you to give this Japanese series a try.

Anyway, I don't know how to put my feelings into words with this Jdrama but I will give it a try, so bare with me.


Tumbling was about finding your dream in an unexpected situation. It was about chasing what you love no matter the sacrifices, because in the end you just found something that is worthy to fight for. Tumbling was about people with the same goal; individuals so different that found something to lean on. It was about working together. It was about the sadness that accompanies failure and the happiness when you finally succeed in what you love. It was about giving your best not just for you, but for others. Tumbling was about throwing away your selfishness and fighting for your team.


If I could describe Tumbling with just one word I would use 'friendship'. The series focuses on every character and it gives us a satisfying background about everyone. There is no hero as every single character has its flaws and that is why this series is special to me. Tumbling teaches you that you alone can't achieve everything and an individual doesn't just have to, but needs people who will be there in the happy moments and in any difficult situation. Moreover, judging people just from the way they act or look is something that has been told many times through series and movies, but tumbling does it in a different way. I loved how every character had its weak and strong points and that fights and disappointment sometimes can't be avoided in a friendship. Tumbling shows that friendship is about mutual support, that your friends also have feelings on their own that may be even more complicated that yours. Lastly, I was attached to every single character and I felt like I was fighting with them, I laughed and I cried with them. Maybe it was over the top at times, but it was also as humane as it could be.

Tumbling is not perfect, it definitely has its flaws, but it doesn't matter, because in the end it has so many things to offer.

No esperaba nada de este dorama y lo terminé amando a niveles inexplicables

La trama, de manera muy resumida, va de un chico llamado Wataru que es obligado a unirse a un club debido a que no le va muy bien en la escuela. Lo que pasa es que este chico es todo un pandillero y no es capaz de durar en ningún lado... esto hasta que una nueva estudiante llega a la escuela y se une al club de gimnasia rítmica femenina, lo que hace que a Wataru se le ocurra la brillante idea de unirse al club masculino para poder conquistarla.
Igual, ese es solo el inicio de la historia, porque después se centra, sobre todo, en la amistad que se forma entre los miembros del club y en la pasión por el deporte, cosa que amé.

A ver, debo admitir que empecé este dorama solo porque el poster me pareció ridículo. Yo quería ver algo gracioso sin intenciones de serlo, con actuaciones exageradas y una trama básica y simple... y al final nada que ver. Los actores son sorprendentemente buenos, el guion de la serie me recordó mucho a los spokons que suelo disfrutar (los que se centran más que nada en la amistad, pero sin dejar de lado el deporte), los vínculos que se crean entre los personajes están muy bien armados y son hermosos, se tocan algunos temas que uno no espera encontrar en una serie asiática tan "viejita" (y encima se tocan bien), etc, etc.

¿Saben qué es lo mejor de todo? ¡Los actores no usan dobles para las presentaciones, lo hacen todo ellos y son buenísimos! Sorry not sorry, pero eso le suma un montón. Para colmo hay varias competencias o momentitos donde los vemos darlo todo, no es una sola performance al final y ya. Una maravilla.

Como tengo pocos caracteres voy a hacerla corta: ¡Miren esta serie, por favor! Absolutamente todos los personajes son ultra queribles (profesores y padres incluidos), hay momentos que manejan una intensidad tremenda y otros que son un estallo, el desarrollo de todo está muy bien llevado y en general aprovecharon bien los recursos que tenían disponibles. Se va directo a mis series favoritas del año. Voy a extrañar mucho a mis muchachos ?

Uno de los doramas más lindos que he visto

La empecé por curiosidad, sin esperar nada, sólo porque tenía ganas de ver algo liviano de deportes, me crucé el póster oficial y me pareció simpático. Además, ¿hay algo mejor que un dorama sobre pandilleros japoneses haciendo deporte? Pero la cuestión es que resultó ser un dorama buenísimo. Para ser del 2010 y con esta temática, tiene una producción muy buena. Más increíble aún es lo bien que actúan todos. Si han visto jdramas, sabrán que la sobreactuación es algo común, parte de su estilo. Sin embargo, a veces esa sobreactuación puede ser contraproducente, pero en Tumbling todos realmente actúan muy bien, y cuando se ponían intensos, yo la re viví con ellos.

Lo mejor de todo es, ¡que los actores interpretan todas las coreografías de gimnasia rítmica ellos mismos! Es increíble la dedicación que claramente pusieron en sus papeles y verlos hacer piruetas sin ser gimnastas profesionales me parece alucinante y razón mayor para aplaudir ese casting.

No puedo explicar lo mucho que me encariñe con todos los personajes y el grupo de amigos que forman. En el segundo capítulo yo ya estaba muriendo y chillando con cada cosa que pasaba porque la intensidad que manejan está al nivel del spokon más apasionado, y tocan temas adelantados a su época. Wataru es un protagonista maravilloso y como grupo forman un vínculo precioso, sentís que realmente todos se quieren un montón y las historias de cada uno están muy bien contadas. Amé cada minuto de sus once episodios con todo mi corazón.

Habiéndolo ya vuelto a ver, confirmo que me encanta esta serie y se ha vuelto una de mis favoritas.

Так вот - здесь куча парней в трико валится и валяется на матах (которые спортивные), ну и так как половина из них хулиганьё "янки", то эти маты матами (словесными) и покрывает.
Ну а если, серьёзно - про крепкую мужскую дружбу в самом нерейтинговом смысле этого слова, про любовь (спокойно - все по-японски издалека), про отцов и детей, ответственность и долг, семью и одиночество. В общем, правильная дорама. Хотя сцены в бане когда голенькие мальчики и их много - это перебор для нежных девичьих сердец
Из актеров хорош Ямамото Юсукэ и Сэто Кодзи, но остальные не подкачали. Нравился малец - "Брательник Гг-ни из Цветочков" и рыжий друган тоже ничего.
